Cost Increment due to excessive inspection

Critical Items to Implement

In case of qualified shipyard, inspection cost is negligible as

indicated by blue line.

Inspection cost of unqualified shipyard is extremely high as

indicated by red line (≈ PSPC Requirement).

Inspectors must have authority to reduce the inspection scope

depending on the Builder’s quality level.

Worker qualification is more reasonable approach to enhance

the coating performance instead of excessive inspection.
